Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited (NYSE: RKLY) (“the Company” or “Rockley”), a leading global silicon photonics technology company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
The second quarter results for Rockley reflect the results for the three months ended June 30, 2021, for Rockley Photonics Limited, prior to the closing on August 11, 2021, of the recent business combination among Rockley’s predecessor, Rockley Photonics Limited, SC Health Corporation, a public investment vehicle, and the Company, pursuant to which Rockley Photonics Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.2
“I am pleased to announce our first financial results as a publicly-traded company. I believe that as a public company, we are in a stronger position than ever before to develop new solutions with potentially life-changing benefits to people across the globe,” said Dr. Andrew Rickman, chief executive officer and founder of Rockley Photonics. “We’re excited about the advances we’ve made over the past few years and, more recently, in the development of our new sensing platform. By designing the ability to measure a new range of biomarkers non-invasively into a single, compact module, we believe our mobile sensing solution has the potential to transform the landscape of health and wellness solutions by significantly increasing the functionality of wearable devices. Our success in the development of photonic solutions like this, along with our entrance into the public markets, has attracted world-renowned customers and partners who understand the unique opportunities that Rockley presents.”
In recent months, Rockley achieved several key milestones. During second quarter, the Company announced its new end-to-end platform for monitoring biomarkers non-invasively. Additionally, through existing agreements and joint ventures, Rockley has continued to develop commercial opportunities for the application of silicon photonics in data communications and has increased its efforts to enhance these relationships and explore new partnerships.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense and non-GAAP research and development expense. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain other items the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP cost of revenue as cost of revenue as cost of revenue other than stock-based compensation, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses as selling, general, and administrative expenses other than stock-based compensation, non-capitalized transaction costs and forgiveness of PPP loan, and non-GAAP research and development expenses as research and development expenses other than stock-based compensation. None of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures to help assess its operating performance and operating leverage in its business, analyze its financial results, establish operational goals, develop operating budgets, and make strategic decisions. The Company also believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing its core business and results of operations over multiple periods with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and to help analyze the Company’s cash performance.
Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Further, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental in nature, should not be considered as the sole measure of the Company’s performance, and are not intended to be construed, and should not be considered, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the comparable or related financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP.
These limitations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release include the following:
- Adjusted EBITDA: (i) The exclusion of certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and stock-based compensation expense. While these are non-cash charges, the Company may need to replace the assets being depreciated and amortized in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for these replacements or new capital expenditure requirements; and ii the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense, which has been a significant recurring expense and the Company expects will continue to constitute a significant recurring expense for the foreseeable future, as equity awards are expected to continue to be an important component of the Company’s compensation strategy.
- Non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and non-GAAP research and development expenses: The exclusion of stock-based compensation expense, which has been a significant recurring expense and the Company expects will continue to constitute a significant recurring expense for the foreseeable future, as equity awards are expected to continue to be an important component of the Company’s compensation strategy.
In addition, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses exclude non-recurring expense related to non-capitalized transaction costs. While the Company expects this non-recurring expense to cease, the Company expects new non-recurring expense will be introduced following the Business Combination such as change in fair value of the Company’s outstanding warrants which the Company expects will constitute to be a significant expense until all warrants are exercised and/or redeemed.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and non-GAAP research and development expenses alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and the Company’s other GAAP results. The information in the tables below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
